Notes on the current edition

Iphigenia in Aulis

1. Lines 413-41 are regarded by Kirchhoff as the work of a much later age. Nauck incloses them in brackets, but Paley, Monk, and Hermann agree in retaining them as probably genuine.
2. Reading ὥς τι τερφθείης with Hermann for ὥστε; if ὥστε is retained the meaning apparently is therefore, mayst thou rejoice at seeing him, involving rather an awkward parenthesis.
3. τε was added by Hermann, because Menelaus could only be invited to take part in the ceremony as an assistant, all important duties devolving on the bride’s parents.
